Islamic Emirate Asks Countries for Flexibility in Recognizing Interim Govt

The Islamic Emirate’s spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, said that they are trying to solve some challenges in the way of interaction of countries with the current Afghan government.

Although Mujahid expects the Islamic Emirate to be recognized in 2024, he said that in order for this to happen, the countries of the world should also show flexibility.

“This is not a one-way road, and cannot look at it from one side. Organizations and some countries that stand in the way should show flexibility,” the spokesperson noted.

The spokesman of the Islamic Emirate defined the conditions of the world regarding the recognition of the Islamic Emirate as follows:

“A country should have its boundaries, a nation, and an organization called the government, so they recognize it. What is considered as intervention is inclusion and non-inclusion and the nature of the system,” Zabihullah Mujahid said.

Meanwhile, analysts have different views regarding what should be done to solve the problem between the Islamic Emirate and the international community.

“The Islamic Emirate should, for the recognition of Afghanistan, implement the conditions that the United Nations had set for Afghanistan,” Janat Fahim Chakari, a political analyst told TOLOnews.

“They should act upon the will of the Afghan people, and rely on the rule of law and meritocracy, and change their policy regarding the treatment of Afghan women,” Najib Rahman Shamal, another political analyst, told TOLOnews.

Even though the Islamic Emirate has been in power for more than two years and has representatives in over 14 countries, some nations, including neighbors, still have embassies operating in Afghanistan. However, the Islamic Emirate has not yet received recognition from any nation.
